Joshua Karry Arthur, the prime suspect in the murder of Professor Mawuadem Amedeker, a senior lecturer at the University of Education, Winneba (UEW), has been remanded into police custody by the Winneba Magistrate Court.
Arthur was arrested on May 22 at the professor’s residence in Gyahadze, Effutu Municipality, following the mysterious disappearance of Prof. Amedeker, who had been missing for several weeks. The lecturer’s family and colleagues reported his disappearance to the police, sparking an intensive search.
Authorities later discovered the professor’s lifeless body buried just metres from his home. The remains were exhumed and taken to the Trauma and Specialist Hospital mortuary in Winneba for autopsy and preservation.
